A One-Name Study for the BARNUM/BARNHAM Surname
From the Rock Springs Miner, Rock Springs, Wyoming, 16 Jan 1920, Page 1: Mrs. Anna Barnum Summoned by Death. The death of Mrs. Anna Barnum occurred at the Wyoming General Hospital on Sunday afternoon, after many weeks of suffering from a complication of diseases.
Mrs. Barnum was an old-time resident of Rock Springs, having lived here for the past twenty-six years. She was a native of England, having been born in Halifax, Yorkshire, Feb. 24th, 1859, and she would have celebrated her sixty-first birthday had she lived until next month. She came to this country with her parents when but ten years of age and had lived the greater part of her life in the west. She was of a social disposition and enjoyed being in the company of her friends very greatly. Even in recent years, since her health has been poor, she enjoyed going out and seemed to forget her suffering when among congenial companions.
She had a large acquaintance and was a kind friend and neighbor. She leaves six children: four daughters, Mrs. D. E. Kellogg and Miss Florence Barnum, of this city; Mrs. Clarence Bartlett of Green River, and Mrs. Louis Hartman of Victor, Montana, and two sons, Alfred and Frank Barnum of this city. Her husband, O. L. Barnum, has been dead for thirteen years and her oldest son George, passed away about a year ago. All were here except Mrs. Hartman, who was unable to come because of illness.
The funeral services were held at the L.D.S. church on Wednesday afternoon and were very impressive, and she was laid to rest in Mountain View Cemetery.
